Cryptocurrencies Become More Popular

Cryptos are gaining more popularity!

Cryptocurrencies had been gaining popularity since early last year. Huge companies from all around the world, governments from developing and developed countries had been considering cryptocurrencies for financial transactions, and recently, donations were made in forms of cryptos to help the hurricane victims.

According to data published by CoinDesk, the price of bitcoin is up 68% month-over-month. Also according to MarketWatch, the total value of all the digital-currencies, including those linked to the Bitcoin BTCUSD, Ethereum and Ripple blockchain networks have reached around $160 billion. Despite the initial negative reaction to crypto currencies since emerging a decade ago, their popularity have surged dramatically. CNN reports that availability of luxury items like jewelry, cars and even fine art, showed that Bitcoin is making waves in the luxury market and further validating the currency. Dr. Garrick Hileman, an economic historian at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics, stated according to CNN that many economists dismissed it as a flawed form of money; something that could never achieve the level of adoption that it has Today we estimate 5 to 10 million unique active users of cryptocurrencies, and in my opinion that’s nothing short of a minor economic miracle.

As for the potential future price of bitcoin, Ronnie Moas of Standpoint Research told CoinDesk, “I am not any more concerned with bitcoin being at a record high than Amazon or Google investors were concerned when those share prices jumped hundreds of percent and hit $100 and $200 many years ago. Today, both of those stocks are above $900. The question is not where we are at – it is where are we going? I do not think we are in a bubble.”

Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) announced yesterday that it will incorporate bitcoin as a payment method for retail and wholesale customers in the cannabis industry. In providing a solution for the logistical headaches and constant security threats to cannabis businesses, Global Payout’s majority owned MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. (‘MTRAC’) subsidiary will leverage its virtual financial wallet technology to eliminate cash payments for cannabis at retail stores.

Because marijuana is illegal on a federal level in the United States, the industry is largely underbanked. As a result, most cannabis companies and dispensaries lack an electronic method to complete secure payments, instead conducting all-cash transactions. This environment creates significant challenges in terms of accounting, cash management storage, and safety. Global Payout recognizes bitcoin as the quickest, safest and most reliable way to fill this void and help cannabis companies more efficiently conduct their business.

“Since there is an inability to access commercial banks for merchant bank accounts, we feel it is imperative to focus on currency alternatives such as bitcoin to service cannabis industry transactions. Furthermore, our payment system is completely ready for use. It will not require a great deal of time or money to incorporate bitcoin into the equation,” says Global Payout Founder and CEO, Jim Hancock.

Joe Sebo, CFO of Global Payout adds, “Everyone in the payment processing world is racing to provide the cannabis industry with a cashless alternative using bitcoin technology, and the companies that accomplish this task will realize incredible profits. I believe Global Payout is one of those companies.”
